What others have to say….
I’ve been training with Shaolin Tigers on and off for the last 10 years but more seriously for the last 5 years. It’s an excellent club for all ages and genders. Fun and engaging lessons with a good mix of bag work, pad work, drills, exercises, and sparring for the more advanced classes. STMA offers competitive rates and deals on equipment. All the instructors are highly knowledgeable in their fields and provide excellent professional guidance, support, and technical advice. I would highly recommend this club to anyone who wants to learn a skill, get fit, fight in tournaments, go through a grading system, or just have a bit of fun. You won’t be disappointed. By far the best facility around in the area, especially with the cage.

My son was really nervous on his first visit to STMA, can’t keep him away now. Made new friends, getting fitter, learning a new activity and really enjoying a new challenge. Highly recommend, a friendly atmosphere and we’ve had a first class experience.
Alan Meechan

Daniel Rogers
Best Martial Arts & MMA gym in the area! No matter the level of your abilities, all trainers are professional and welcoming, tailoring sessions to your abilities! Whether you’re prepping for a fight, or looking to get fit…this is the place to be!
Jakub Snopko
I have been training with STMA for over 10 years, I cannot thank the club enough for the training and guidance provided over the years. Everybody is always welcomed into the club regardless of level or experience and always encouraged to reach their full potential. I now have a family and my eldest son is a member training twice a week…his overall technique, concentration and respect has been improving week by week with the correct teaching in place. I would highly recommend STMA training to improve your own goals (even if it’s for your own fitness) as there are programs / classes in place for all levels of ability, but especially for your children…you will see for yourself the improvement from day 1!!!
DANIEL WARD
Wow what a fresh and friendly new club, very professional, fab communication and amazing with children. There are multiple classes on during the week which allows flexibility around our own busy Schedule. Currently my two boys attend junior classes but have seen many young laddies in the classes too showing just as much enthusiasm, my boys absolutely love it, they are on the go from the moment the walk in, it’s fun and energetic, incorporating skill and discipline all at once. Can’t wait to give it a go myself. Would highly recommend for children and adults alike!

Alex Wright
Shaolin Tigers Academy at Reading is the best gym in Berkshire I have trained in. The facilities there are amazing and especially when the new cage is installed in December. I have been with Shaolin Tigers for around 25 years and loved every session with them as all the instructors and students are amazing. So I really do recommend going here.
Karl Singer
Very impressed with this place. Bright, large area with viewing balcony. The instructors are highly trained and the owner, Dan, is particularly good with children and manages to keep the young ones focused. Well done!
